Finished off the kids playground today, well sort of, he never got the hooks for the swings and the swing walkway so he can put them up, I’m not going back, got the swing frame up, climbing wall on, some monkey bars and the seesaw put together and fitted,a few other bits and bobs, he seems happy enough and the kids are over the moon ?

What if it doesn't need improving? What if you have everything you want and need in your animals. I heard a well respected terrierman say if you take a pint of milk and add a spoonful of shite what are you left with.

Can’t start a line without a bit of line breeding/ inbreeding , brother sister , son daughter mother son , uncle aunt etc etc if your serious about starting a line you line breed but with line breeding you bring out the best and the worst so have to cull hard

What's all this nonsense about not being able to squeak an adult fox in ? The only time they won't come in is when kids have been lamping them with curs that couldnt catch a cold has made them lamp shy ! I went out with a lad who had them running in like smack heads offered a free KFC, by rubbing a bit of polystyrene on the lamp glass ! Im no fox man, and my dogs could take a fox but couldn't be classed as fox dogs, but I've squeaked plenty in and the dogs have killed them. It ain't rocket science ? Cheers.

May I respectfully disagree ..... As I've said before, ( and I'm a running dog man, not a Terrier man), a good working Terrier is not just an athlete, it's the canine equivalent of a Spartan, a Gladiator, it puts its life on the line every time it goes to ground, it goes into its enemies domain, down a tight tube, in the pitch dark to face a quarry that's fighting for its life. I know Terrier lads who have their dogs so fit they put most lurchers to shame. Be proud of the type of dogs you run........but don't under estimate others ? Cheers.

mC you are totally wrong about a terrier not being a performance athlete, a terrier gone to ground working Fox and Badger (historically) pushes its body through the pain barrier more than any other canine athlete could withstand, squeezing through tight, twisting tube below the sod to reach its adversary makes its muscles cramp up, its nose is without equal, its eyesight is greatly diminished below the sod but still it finds it’s quarry, it possesses the courage to face an opponent that many a bullx’s jib at and it possesses the stamina to put a Saluki to shame, it is the ultimate canine athle

Back to the farmer who breeds our ducks on Thursday night. I knew there was one about because I had been on Monday night and my mate shot a vixen. He had seen another but didn’t manage to get a shot at it. I thought I would leave it for a couple of nights then have another look. I set up on a track 200yds from the gate into the next field where I thought it would come from. I was set up for 10.15pm with the caller 50yds off to my right. I saw it in the next field about 10.50pm and switched the caller on. I had already preselected “rat distress “ and it was only a matter of seconds before it sl

Had this one on a we black pennel good we fight was fat fish for they hill lochs no far of 3lb

Got a call out to sort some rabbits out tonight. Six for six shots. They've ended up in my new stink pipe.

Didn't know what to do tonight, so tried to do a sort of Chinese takeaway thing. I had left over Chinese Chicken curry I made some time ago chopped a sausage which was left over from last night. Then made Beef in Oyster sauce in the woke some air fried chips. Was bloody lovely. Cheers Arry

You behave yourself too ffs, lol not performance animals. You coursing lads would need to pull your heads out of your arses and smell the roses now and again. Lol.

Nobody continually inbreds, it's something that's done to tighten up the line then back to close line breeding. Its worked for terriers so why not runners.

Watching kids play and puffins come in and out to ther nests at 10,15 pm last night magic

hes been mixing it up this morning.. 20bore with 3" 35gram 2's

droped half a dozen off local to me this week...to see if a could boost the local numbers...

I’m no fox man so I couldn’t tell you what men are doing mate, I’ve just seen the punishment they can dish out and it takes a brave dog to keep going back for more night after night

Just been and snatched this pic, saw it a few months ago, airdale based lurchers in the States somewhere used for coyote.

Thank feck ,I was starting 2 think it were inbred

You can choose to believe me or not I really don’t mind but hand on heart a red stag is the only one I’d double on pre ban. The rest were single or not at all, if the dog can’t do it single they deserve to get away in my book.

I’m a lurcher man myself but I’d put working terriers, foxing lurchers & big deer dogs over coursing dogs in terms of putting themselves under strain physically & mentally. A terrier goes face first in to the pitch black and confronts a fox in its own arena, puts itself at risk of serious injury or death every time it goes to ground, to compare a dog that chases a big rabbit round a field to a working terrier is ridiculous. Same with fox & big deer dogs, they’re giving their all to catch something they know is going to hurt them when they get hold of it, when a coursing d

You end up with a pint of shite because it certainly ain't milk anymore. There's lines of terriers that haven't had an out cross in a long long time and they're doing just fine.

Bitch otter teaching pups in my favorite fishing hole.

Good looks can turn into ugliness very quickly if their temperament is bad, same with women, lol.

After getting back into catapulting recently, I bought a Nick Hegerty catapult and thought what can I use for my 9.5mm steel ammo so I bought this off eBay for £4.00,its a leather coin pouch,I added a shoelace so I can wear it over my shoulder, ideal I think.

Well there you go then. What a legend. Peter Hickman will go down in the record books as one of best, and bravest, riders in history. I love this guy who has been a family friend for many a year. His dad, David, deserves a mention as being a hell of a rider as well. Fantastic. Jok.

Squeaked this big lad in, he certainly wasn't a cub. ! ? ! The little Beddy type had a battle but won......maybe she wasn't an athlete ! ?? ! Cheers.

Dogged mate , bushers and lurchers mine old dog took 3 that day

looks f***ing gay to me

Forgot to say it was December time not September time ? that's wee terrier I worked

Don’t get me wrong mate I’ve had my fair share of failures, I’ve found the real good uns only come along every now and again. But the best I’ve had was out of a saluki x grey to a rough lurcher with a few breeds in there, greyhound, saluki, wheaten etc. I’ve seen good uns of different types but most important thing to me was both parents being well versed on deer & having a good technique, those ones that grab the back end and hang on for dear life never make it in my book

If your ever over this way I'll take your out with a harrier pack on the hares and see if you can keep up. Lol. And ill also take you to earth's that no unfit terrier is ever gonna get dug to in.

Is a woke like a wok but softer and non binary... My favourite leftover in my twenties was Chinese curry sauce fry salmon steaks in it and serve with mayo , banging ...?

Views in my office right now..... Cheers.

A pint of shite

I'm in work mate , so only quick answers. I just don't buy into poor oil companies in fact I think it's laughable..

He’s gone quiet???? Maybe needed an op .????I hope the ole fellas ok

Not really mate I drive a company vehicle and have a company fuel card so it bothers me not a jot but I can still see we’re it is all going without someone giving me an a4 piece of paper covered in charts and graphs leading me to have sympathy for the very people that are a part of the problem and drew the graphs these big company’s are all just part of the same machine that drive and control us, but hey you gotta believe what you believe and even though they differ it’s good to have views and opinions or we would all just get swept along blindly, now you have a god day while I go and fire up

Dogs, horses, cows, sheep, chickens, Racing pigeons etc have all at some time been bred tight to fix traits. Look up Robert Bakewell in agriculture and you can find out for yourself how inbreeding has shaped the livestock of today.

My point exactly, hence the false price increases coming in on a weekly basis while those in charge make all the right noises they are trying to help the man in the street but doing zero, we are like a flock of sheep and they just push us in whatever direction benefits them the most, it’s very easy to see if you just stop watching the bbc and use your own eyes and mind, fuel will not be going down by any significant amounts in the foreseeable future is my guess ??

Never used #2 shot but recently got dome in. #3 I've used plenty with good results.

Normally Gardens, tents are for camping ?

Somr views from the Grelsby mountain over the Kalix river and Djupträsket lake. Its 21.30 and its half moon and sunshine.

There is a lot of poorly made crap around. Better off sticking to some time served suppliers, especially when it could cost you your bird. Always a good idea to visit one of the falconry fairs to compare quality! Ben long: General gear Hooded Talons: Braided gear and hoods Ashley Clarke: Gloves Microsensory: Telemetry/GPS
